I've been really impressed by him. His jumper looks great and he plays like a true vet doing all the little things. His contract is gonna be a steal

Rotations on defense are better, individual defense is better, decision making is better. Lakers are actually quite stout defensively with him in there. Amazing what can happen when getting mentored by James and working with a real coaching/developmental staff as opposed to whatever the hell Walton and his Bros were doing.

The Lakers are right now 6th on defense and 4th on offense.

Not that impressed at all. The Lakers has won against Mavs, Timberwolves, Spurs, and Grizzlies so far. I would like to see what they can do against better teams.

Also put bets on Jokic (got him at 34/1 after they were 0-2) but their team record is worrying. They were high seeds the last two seasons. Hopefully they turn it around.

It’s impressive that they’re 5-2 when LeBron and AD have been going at about 50%. I’ve honestly been impressed that the guys after AD/Bron have held their own enough to be 5-2 without monster performances from those those. The Clippers lost to that same Mavs team by 51. (Albeit without Kawhi, but still).

I find it hilarious that An Unbiased Fan's last date active on this forum was October 16, right after LeBron won a title with his beloved Lakers. He came back to this forum to hate on LeBron's legacy then left because his mind can't handle winning a title with the Lakers in a more dominant fashion than Kobe lol.

I have Jokic as well, but i added some on Embiid at 31.00. I think Philly finishes 1st in the east, and that may be enough for him to win it depending on what happens out west.

I was reading old posts and saw his popped up. Thought to myself "I haven't seen AUBF on this forum in a while, I wonder what he thought about LeBron to his Lakers." Sure enough I found out he hated it lol. Classic case of a Kobe fan, not a Lakers fan.

Gasol stays being an advanced stat monster. He was like that for the Raps last year too

Starting lineup as a whole is looking salty. (2nd page) Ridiculously easy schedule so far, but that's still encouraging.

Lakers are 2nd in offense and 5th on defense entering tonight's game, only team in the top 5 on both ends (also, somehow the Cavs are second in defense??)

WOW!

They have increased their Turnover % more than any team in NBA History so far. It is unsustainable. Same with the Knicks allowing 30% on wide open 3's.

If Cleveland allowed league average on their 3's they would be below average.
